Welcome to the 2013 Hotel Cateys
Entries are now open for the industry’s only truly independent benchmark of operational excellence, Caterer and Hotelkeeper’s Hotel Cateys. These celebrated awards are now in their seventh year, and each year's awards have been bigger and better than the last. Now is the time to make your nominations and recognise the best in the business.
Since their launch in 2007, the Hotel Cateys have celebrated the most successful hotels, hoteliers and hotel employees across the UK. They were created to recognise and reward those individuals and teams that work tirelessly to make sure their business delivers an exceptional guest experience, day in, day out.
Guests visit a hotel for any number of reasons. But they return thanks to a wonderful welcome, a brilliant breakfast and a great night’s sleep. It falls to hotel professionals to meet customers' needs and keep them, coming back time after time.
Every operation has outstanding achievers – the people these awards are designed to celebrate. Does your front-of-house team ensure guests feel they are at a home from home? Do you have a conference and banqueting team that ensure every event is a roaring success? Or do you have a housekeeper that goes the extra mile to ensure your property looks a million dollars? If so, we want to hear about them.
Enter now! Deadline date - Friday 12th July.
We look forward to receiving your entries.
